Gold Coast Portrait Photography for Dr Tanya Skincare
I’ve lost count now how many photoshoots I have done for Dr Tanya skincare and clinic.
This time we were photographing Dr Tanya herself, her branding/profile shots. We were able to use their Hope Island clinic, rather than hiring out a photography studio. My photoshoots include professional photography lighting, so I can always bring everything we need with me.
A 2 hr shoot, with clear direction from their marketing head, Indi.

Product Photography and Styling for Emro Designs first Wallpaper collection
Loved this shoot with Emro Designs, building these rooms from the bare minimum. We used a plain white home shoot location, hopeful that we would have beautiful natural sunlight, but were unlucky with a very overcast day. Fixed with photography lighting, made to look like natural light.
I brought all of the homewares props, and even some furniture to make this shoot come to life. Very chuffed with the end result, and feel privileged to be a small part of launching this inspiring collaboration, Emro Designs’ first wallpaper collection, with a variety of Aboriginal Artists.
If you are interested in using this shoot location, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me, and I can put you in touch with the lovely home owners, it is located in Kirra Beach, and makes a great backdrop to any shoot, a simple soft colour palette, easy to adapt to the look you are after.
Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach Real Estate Photography for AJK Property
I was thrilled to get the call from these lovely home owners. I photographed this house over 3 years ago for The Beach Furniture, as the home owners had purchased a variety of furniture pieces from this local store.
I was thrilled to get the call from these lovely home owners. I photographed this house over 3 years ago for The Beach Furniture, as the home owners had purchased a variety of furniture pieces from this local store.
They were now selling the property, and wasn’t happy with the ‘standard’ real estate photography they received, but remembered they liked the photography I had done of their home over 3 years ago … I’ve been getting this call a lot lately … home owners wanting a more ‘editorial’ feel for real estate … to capture the essence of the home, to spend the time waiting for the right light, styling the space to suit the feeling of the home, the position of the home and of course the location.
So for this job, we started with a sunrise shot of the exterior that faces the beach, I then styled up the entire interior, using pieces from my personal prop collection (and the car jam packed with home styling accessories).
All in all this home took 7 hrs to photograph.
You can see the listing for this property here:
https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-palm+beach-131487942
And a couple of family shots of the home owners as well, to remember their time in this beautiful beach side home.
“We accidentally came across Tanika when a company organised a shoot at our house for a range of products we had purchased. We were so in love with her photography that when we decided to put our house on the market years later, we hunted for hours to find the blog the photos were used for to get her details.
Since then we have used her for a second property shoot and also recommended her to a friend who is a real estate agent, who then subsequently used her photography for her own house!
Could not recommend Tanika enough!”

SHOOT LOCATIONS - Tips for hiring your home out for photo shoots
As someone who has photographed many many Shoot Locations, and use shoot locations for her products clients regularly, here are my top tips for hiring out your house for Photo Shoots.
As someone who has photographed many many Shoot Locations, and use shoot locations for her product clients regularly, here are my top tips for hiring out your house for Photo Shoots … after chatting to so many home owners already doing it, and being asked a variety of questions from home owners who are wanting to hire out their house. Here are my top tips, and questions answered (don't hesitate to get in contact if there’s anything else you’d like to know):
Show your potential customers (the businesses looking for shoot locations) how beautiful your home is, buy having it professionally photographed by me … you’ll need to show your house in the best natural lighting it gets, clients will want to see where the light hits. And even better would be a list, and photo examples of where the light hits at what time of day (the times will change through out the year) … this is is helpful for the businesses to plan their photoshoots out, and get the most out of your house. (some businesses will want to ‘scout’ the location ahead of a shoot, to really get a good idea of the light and space).
You will need to have a contract drawn up, to cover your house for any damages that may occur, I can help you out with this, upon completion of photographing your house for you.
There are two quite well known businesses that are like Airbnb, for shoot locations … Pure Locations and Aloca … these businesses advertise your house for shoot hire, they take all the stress out of the process for you, and handle everything … booking your clients, contracts, taking payments etc … you do of course have to pay them a fee, but if you don’t have the time, or just don’t want to have to do it, they will do all the ‘book keeping’ side of hiring out your home for shoots. It also means a lot bigger businesses (with more money to spend) are seeing your home and that it is available to hire. But of course you an handle this all yourself if you choose to.
I would also highly recommend starting an instagram account purely for your house, and advertising the fact you are now hiring it out for shoots. Naming your home, and featuring only the professional photography you will get from me after I photograph it for you. You definitely don’t need to be posting on this account all the time, it’s not another thing you have to maintain … but it does mean when you have shoots at your house, everyone involved with the shoot … photographers, models, make up artists etc … have a instagram account to ‘tag’ where they are, and then that’s free advertising for you. And if they are tagging the house, you can repost/share any of their content, so free content for you, to advertise that your house is available for shoot hire (more professional photography, rather than dodgy iPhone photos, of your house). You do need to have a clear brand, and if you are paying for professional photography, I wouldn’t then post random iPhone photos that don’t match the aesthetic brand of the house, branding is so so important. Having a beautiful logo for you house is also very helpful, to give the overall feel of the home. (I come from a graphic design background too, so I can design a logo for your home).
All you really need to do it have a clean and tidy house, before each shoot booking. You may want to hire a cleaner for this, I can also recommend some for you, depending on your location.
If you literally don’t want to deal with any of this, I am available to photograph your home, and do all this other work to have it up and running, ready to take on clients … designing a logo, launching your instagram account, writing out contracts, and automated email replies with all the details, putting together PDF’s to talk your potential clients through your house, how the light hits etc, we could even video your house, to really show the lay out etc …
Bonus Tips
@peppahart has a beautiful home in Cabarita (@casa_campana) that was built for shoot hire, she has spoken a lot about hiring out her home for shoots on her instagram account, some really helpful content there, if you would like to read more, from someone who is already hiring out her house.
Your house doesn’t need to be ‘perfect’ and jaw dropping amazing, you would be surprised by the price my photography clients have paid, and houses I have used for product shoots for clients in the past, I will be completely honest with you, if I think your home will not be able to be a shoot location, just ask me, I won’t lie to you and waste your time.
If the whole home isn’t photo shoot ready … you just need to be completely honest with your potential clients, about what areas of your home are shoot worthy, how many rooms, or outdoor spaces can be used, what the best angles are etc.
If you’d like to see some of the homes I have photographed in the past that are all hiring out their homes for photo shoot locations, head over here. These shoots were all done purely to advertise these homes being available for shoot hire. And these homes here, are some that I have used for product photography shoots, in the past.
As always, don't hesitate to get in contact, to find out more about my services, and even just to have a chat about hiring out your home for shoots.
AIRBNB - Tips for hiring out your house for holiday accommodation
As someone who has photographed many many many Airbnb’s … and spoken to a variety of homeowners Airbnb-ing their properties … here are some of my top tips for Airbnb-ing your home.
As someone who has photographed many many many Airbnb’s … and spoken to a variety of homeowners Airbnb-ing their properties … here are some of my top tips for Airbnb-ing your home.
Styling
Before you have your property photographed, it is a good idea to think about wether you are whiling to spend some money to restyle your property by a professional stylist … I come from a background in Interior Design and Styling, as well as having experience in Marketing and Graphic Design … this combination of skills, always being focused on home interiors is what sets me apart now as a professional and trusted photographer, who also styles.
You definitely don’t have to have me re-style your home, you can choose any interior designers/stylist you like, if you like their style, but I do think a really beautiful Airbnb, that is aesthetically pleasing not only in photographs but also in person is very important to really get the most out of Airbnb-ing your home, to stand out from the crowd.
Having key features you become known for in your Airbnb (when potential guests see photos fo your Airbnb online), a particular painting, a cool colour palette … the most relaxing space someones ever laid eyes on … all these things add up to a memorable space, it all goes in with your branding, the more professional you are about Airbnb-ing your property, the more money you can charge and the more bookings you are going to get.
I have a variety of stylists I can reccomend for you, depending on the style you are after, and how far you want to go when it comes to re-designing or re-styling your home.
2. Photography
Obviously I highly recommend a professional photoshoot of your Airbnb when it is styled it’s best. Professional photography is going to say to your potential clients, that you take Airbnb-ing seriously, that you are a trusted Airbnb Host, with a home worthy of their holiday money spending.
Before your photoshoot, you do want to make sure the home is clean and tidy, this saves me (or the photographer you choose) time, tiding and cleaning, that could be spent photographing your space.
After the photoshoot, after you have received your professional photographs, here’s what you should know …
3. Branding … choosing a great name for your property, having a logo custom made, starting an instagram for the property … and even better, a website for the property. If all this overwhelms you, these are all things I am more then capable of doing for you, please don’t hesitate to get in contact to chat about my Airbnb branding packages … getting you completely set up, and teaching you anything you need to know in the on going marketing of your Airbnb.
4. Instagram … Having an instagram for the property doesn’t necessarily mean you have to keep up with that instagram, constantly posting etc … it means the people who stay at your Airbnb, have an instagram account to tag when they are posting photos, it means there friends will be able to check out your Airbnb, by clicking that tagged link straight away … you can set up automated messages for anyone direct messaging you on instagram, so you really don’t have to be using it as such … but by all means if you are into it, I can teach you how to use Instagram to better your Airbnb business.
5. Airbnb.com … Setting up your profile on Airbnb.com … probably the most important task of them all, I can also do this task for you if you choose, adding all the professional photos, writing a beautiful description etc etc.
6. Local Guides … An added extra, that is just such a nice touch to an Airbnb, is a local guide … a list of places, cafes, restaurants, things to do … ideally a list that you write out, as you will know the area of your Airbnb better then me, and then I will design a Mini Local Guide, that is branded beautiful to your personal Airbnb, this Guide can then be sent to your guests as a PDF, once they book their stay at your Airbnb, before they arrive for their holiday … you could also have a copy printed nicely as more of a magazine, to sit on the coffee table, waiting for your guests when they arrive.
Courses
If you REALLY want to get into all things Airbnbing your home yourself I can highly recommend doing either one of the following courses:
Sarah Andrew’s Airbnb Course.
I have heard amazing things about this course, I haven’t done it myself, but I definitely believe this would be worth looking into if you are serious about Airbnb-ing your property. The creator of The Hosting Masterclass owns The Captains Rest, very well known Airbnb in Tasmania.
&
Salt at Shoal Bay use to always host Airbnb workshops, it doesn’t look like they are doing them right now, but I would keep an eye on this too, they looked incredible, I lot of them were hosted in collaboration with Natalie Walton, a well known stylist.
Managing your Airbnb.
If you want someone to completely run your Airbnb, including a makeover, all the cleaning, booking holiday makers etc … I can also highly recommend Ranger Property who are based in Byron Bay. (I do most of their photographing work for the many many Airbnb’s they manage.
